Out the door and that is great news....

Quote:A reporter at a Massachusetts-based newspaper resigned Friday after falsely claiming in a tweet Thursday that the man who killed five employees at the Capital Gazzete newspaper left a “Make America Great Again” hat at the crime scene.

“Shooter who killed 4 people at Annapolis newspaper dropped his #MAGA hat on newsroom floor before opening fire,” Conor Berry, a reporter at The Republican in Springfield, Mass., wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

Berry, who covered politics and crime for The Republican, apologized for the “stupid” and “regrettable” tweet Friday, adding that it made his 21-year career as a journalist come to a “screeching halt.”

As a reporter, what he did was unforgivable in today's political climate.

Quote:“We need to be more vigilant than ever to be fair and accurate in a climate in which we are scrutinized and criticized,” said Wayne Phaneuf, the executive editor of the newspaper, in a statement.

"Fake news" exposed and foiled once again. The POTUS is smiling...

So after 21 years in the business, he was covering local courts for the Springfield Republican in western Mass.

Either he wasn’t very good at reporting or he wasn’t really trying. Hell maybe both.

I wonder if this idiot posts here ? Sure sounds like the liberals here.

I'm just shocked he didn't try to claim his Twitter was hacked since that's the go-to defense for leftists.

Who would hack a Twitter with 9 followers?

I look at those horrible, hateful words and can't believe I wrote them.

He didn't resign, he was fired. Went and read his twitter account. He said he 'technically resigned', which means he was given a chance to resign or be fired.
He has gotten all humble and apologetic after getting his azz fired. He fed on all the Trump hate by the left, got a serious case of TDS and it cost him his job, as it should have. Wonder if he thinks all that hate was worth the price he paid.

Too late. Why you can't trust any of these reporters.
